Republicans rejected bipartisan riot commission now complain the special committee is not bipartisan
A token Rhino or 2 is not bipartisan. Not to mention the investigation itself is political theatre much like Mao put on during the Cultural Revolution. No reason to lend credibility to a kangaroo court by playing along. Let them own it.
The definition of "ransack": to search a place or container in a violent and careless way.
There was no search or violent handling and property damage was not widespread. Nothing was ransacked. Search Google images for "ransacked room" and then tell me the Capitol looked anything like anything shown. Ransacked is a world the corporate media use to evoke far more than what actually happened on that day, like they use "insurrection" and "deadly." (Is "attempted coup" still in play, or did they retire that one?)
Edit: I found one video that purported to show a ransacked office - paper and files on the floor. Was that ransacked by the mysterious men in black military outfits? I wonder who they worked for... Or was it ransacked after the fact to make it look good? We know they are going out of the way to imprison every person who was there on that day - the exact opposite of the approach they took to antifa and BLM rioters.
They were Trump supporters. There was no proof the election was stolen when he led them on by invite and inflammatory speech on Jan.6th (not Jan. 4,5,7 etc.).
Yes, there were Trump supporters, as well as Antifa and god knows how many undercover FBI agents/provocateurs. Trump incited nothing. His speech was well within normal parameters. He never called for violence, and what little violence there was many well have been incited by the FBI agents. They have an established track record of doing exactly this.
There was no proof that OJ Simpson killed his wife either.
"Incitement is not a crime under the First Amendment unless it meets certain criteria.
First of all, it has to be intended to cause violence (and you infer that intent from the circumstances). It also has to be likely to cause violence."
And again, there was very little violence. The only deadly violence being used by a cop against an unarmed woman at point blank. If she were black and he was white, there would be mobs calling for his imprisonment. In this case, though, not only has he faced no inquiry, but he has been called a hero and his identity was hidden. Apparently Trump supporters' lives don't matter.
I would very much like to see an inquiry into the FBI's (and other unaccountable agencies) undercover involvement in that day. It will never happen of course, despite the almost certain likelihood that they were part of the mob in significant numbers and, of so, almost certainly tried to incite violence. Because that's what they do.
